Truer words have never been said.
I do find it a bit odd that Stalin persecuted the gay Mafia in Russia. One would think that he'd of been fine with it as long as they weren't actively or being seen to undeone him or the USSR.
Christians have a (shitty) reason for doing it. They see it as part of their religion (while ignoring everything else the religion says like God saying he'll judge people, not people judge people) but what reason did strain have? Y'know?
It was a very convenient accusation that preyed on pre-existing prejudices in society, allowing Stalin to marginalize and eliminate potential rivals by accusing them of 'bourgeois degeneracy'.
Dictators rarely have a "Live and let live" attitude. They seek to reinforce prejudices that do not threaten them as a means of redirecting anger and dissatisfaction at weakened minorities instead of the authoritarian regime.
Russia has a long cultural history of glorifying the patriarchal strong-man leader, and all of their leaders, regardless of ideology, have exploited it to some degree.
Wait, sorry can you expand on the "gay mafia?" Was there an organized group of The Gays or was it more like some leaders being outed and having that used against them? Or something completely different lol
Alphabet Mafia, casual term for the LGBTQ community
Gay Mafia is my preferred term for referring to the LGBTQ+ community. It rolls off the tongue quicker and sounds cooler.
